I texted my daughter today and she received the text but it was listed as anonymous, so she had no idea who sent it.

After discovering that it was me, I sent another two texts and they both identified me as the sender.

So what happened here? I thought texts couldn't be sent anonymously.

I am with 3 UK and she is with 02.

I expect her phone temporarily didn't display the proper sender due to a bug. Maybe if she rebooted her phone it will display it properly?

It is now displaying the sender correctly without a reboot.

I am just curious as I have never heard of this happening before.

Texting/SMS protocols are at least 2456885422 years old it amazing we receive texts at all

They seem reluctant to update it because it's still well supported

Probably no more than a glitch

Nothing to do with the SMS protocols if the phone is now displaying it properly, just a phone software glitch. A lot of protocols are old, TCP/IP is old, just because something is old doesn't necessarily mean it's bad, it can just mean it has stood the test of time and is mature and reliable.
